The main resistance is now forming near the $0.5000 zone. There is also a major declining channel forming with resistance near $0.5330 on the 4-hours chart of the XRP/USD pair. If there is no recovery wave above $0.4650 or $0.4720, there is a risk of another decline.
The next major support is near the $0.4200 level. Any more losses could lead the price towards the $0.4000 support zone in the near term.
Recovery in XRP?
If ripple starts a decent recovery wave above the $0.4650 resistance, the bulls might attempt to take control. A clear break above the $0.4650 and $0.4720 levels could start a decent recovery.
To move into a positive zone, the price has to settle above the $0.5000 level. A close above $0.5000 will most likely pump the price towards the $0.5500 level.
